Advice needed for location recording - Critique our work

[Jay M]

We are new to television and I have a whole bunch to learn as the audio guy. We have been doing radio for over 25 years so I think we have that figured out.

My biggest concern is the quality of the first part. He is being recorded using a concealed lapel, and a boom mic in a very noisey place. In the video posted below I think we only used the lapel.

There are a few elements in our TV broadcast that have unique sonund requirements.
I'll post them in the order they appear on the show:

1. Teaser [30 seconds] - A guy standing on a crowded patio outside the church
(cahllenge- getting good sound quality, determining how much ambient noise we want)

2. Intro [30 seconds] - A video montage with some voice and dominate music. (how loud should it be compared to the rest of the show? )

3. Sermon in church [20-25 minutes] - Pastor is speaking in a room with about 3000 people. His mic is a countryman E6, and there are 2 room mics for ambience. (how much ambience should there be?)(It ends with some music in the last 10 seconds - do you like how it's mixed?)

3. Wrap up [30 seconds]- Same guy on patio again (music while he is speaking)

4. Personal interest story - This is a little micro documentary of a person or situation that relates to the sermon (there is music under it, how much should there be?)

5. Guy on patio wraps up, does a little commercial. (how does the music vs ambient sound?) (how is the quality of his voice? can it be improoved?)


Why Does Evil Dominate the World?

I can't figure out how to do a direct link, but you can just click on that title on the page

The link is flash based so you can skip ahead pretty easily as long as you have a decent internet connection.

Even if you don't have time to listen to the video, I would appreciate any advice you can offer.

Thanks,
